"News of The War" – At the beginning of 1942, the war is jamming the pages of the broadsheets - there's not a column free for updates from the Women's Institute. It's all invasions in Norway (fishy business), airfields in Malaya, and, er, news about spotty dogs being everything you'd expect them to be. From home front news (and a scoop for Desert Island Discs!), to overseas drama, it's all here in the headlines. Tune in, brace yourselves; it can only be the #NewsoftheWar ...Andy Aitcheson and Merryn Walters dig into the newspapers, chasing the stories that didn’t make it into the history books. Expect dry wit, sapper grit, deep dives, and the detours into what lurks in the photos, gossip, scandal, news, and letters to the editor during the Second World War.
